The CTV feed earlier had one of the commentators say "Folks, as a sports commentator, I never thought I'd say this, but here we go... the models are wearing the following designers..." then the above, followed by "Sorry, hockey fans." Awesome.

In my opinion, the Queen is going to come out next carrying a turkey vulture by the neck, and she will then repeatedly punch it in the face and call it a "whinging twat". Then she will drop-kick it all the way up into the audience, at which point the corpses of Sid and Nancy Vicious will dig their way out of the ground and give her a caramel apple and eight DVD copies of the movie "Hope Floats".

Pontious Pilates:Pretty weaksauce closing ceremonies so far. Nothing will ever top the Canadagasm in Vancouver two years ago. Giant inflatable beavers, Katherine O'Hara. They had it all, and it was so deliciously cheesy.

And to top it all off, they had Nickleback play in an attempt to drive the foreigners out of the country.

tlchwi02:after watching that show for the first 2 commercials breaks, i can not imagine a world where laughter is possible. i have switched to some celtic womans group on PBS who are singing of the sadness of the irish famines. and yet, it still lightens my heart more than animal practice.

I hope you don't mind, but I reposted this on NBC Olympics' Facebook page.

make me some tea:They didn't bleep that out on the BBC. I guess Americans aren't ready for adulthood.

It's after 10pm, that would've been just fine with the FCC too.

Actually, I've noticed that just this year, the word "shiat" has become acceptable on NBC's sister network, USA. It reminds me of the year that NBC decided that "ass" was an okay word, and every show (especially Friends) used it a lot.

I bet we'll hear "shiat" on NBC in the next few years. Why not? We've seen it all week.

The only way this abomination would vastly improve is if they would shift gears and do a five or ten minute sequence on the U.K. historical tradition of killing people and throwing their bodies in the bog.

I think North America will get it in 2020. Probably Chicago or New York, maybe Mexico City or Toronto.

Toronto is putting a bid together for 2024. And I read a Yahoo article recently that says some local politicians in Toronto are considering a joint bid with Niagara Falls/Buffalo, NY. As a native WNYer, i think that would be cool as shiat, for the first international games to be held across the world's longest friendly border. BUT, I can't imagine who among anyone involved would say "You know, Toronto made a good case for themselves in their last two bids, but you know what they're missing that would put them over the top? BUFFALO."

Well I worked damn hard on Buffalo's World University Games, so I know Buffalo has the expertise to run an Olympics.

/right after we get our NBA franchise back, win the Cup and the Super Bowl, and get that MLB team we were sooo close to landing
